Chapter 673 - 673 659 Willing to Die can be Achieved (3)_1

Chapter 673: 659, Willing to Die can be Achieved (3)_1 Chapter 673: 659, Willing to Die can be Achieved (3)_1 Ito Keiko’s smooth back was against the door, the icy touch of the door surface making her shudder.

A hint of desperation flashed in her eyes as she reached out to grab Quan Jingwu’s hand.

But she grasped at air.

Quan Jingwu sidestepped, picked up a towel, and wrapped it around his hand.

Ito Keiko saw his movements, a vague sense of unease stirring in her heart.

“CEO Quan, I genuinely wish to serve you…”

Her soft voice abruptly halted as the hand Quan Jingwu had wrapped in the towel seized her neck. His knuckles turned white with strain.

“Cough, cough–”

Ito Keiko hadn’t anticipated this outcome. Her face turned a suffocating shade of blue, gasping for breath.

Quan Jingwu maintained a cold expression, roughly shoved her aside, and Ito Keiko fell onto the ground in a graceless heap.

Just then, the room’s door was flung open from the outside.

Bang.

Looking up, Quan Jingwu saw Ito Takahashi and others, a storm swirling in his eyes.

“Hiss–”

Ito Takahashi and the others crammed in the doorway, were shocked when they saw the scene before them.

What on earth is going on?

“Ah!”

Seeing so many people and realizing she was still naked, Ito Keiko let out a shrill scream. In haste, she snatched up a kimono from the floor and quickly wrapped it around herself.

At that moment, she cursed the subordinate she had instructed earlier to fetch her father and Yukiko. Why had he brought so many people?

She was now completely exposed, and it was a total loss.

Ito Yukiko watched Ito Keiko clad in a disheveled kimono. She shifted her gaze to Quan Jingwu; who had a frozen expression, hinting of anger simmering in his eyes.

Keiko must have gotten herself into serious trouble.

Did she genuinely believe this strategy would force Quan Jingwu to be with her?

Such sheer stupidity.

“Keiko, you…” Ito Takahashi glanced at Quan Jingwu, a glint flashing in his eyes.

Ito Keiko stood up, wrapping herself in the kimono, her eyes filled with remorse.

“Father, please don’t blame CEO Quan, he was just momentarily confused, and I…”

Her voice trailed off as she lowered her head and began weeping softly, leaving room for the others to speculate.

Hearing her words, the others looked at Quan Jingwu with altered expressions.

“Hmph!”

A scornful sneer rang out, making the crowd involuntarily shudder.

“What are all of you doing crowding outside my room, are you here for a show?”

Jian Qing stared at the crowd blocking her doorway, a chill flashing in her eyes.

She had just gone out for a walk, and now so many people were crowding at her door. Was it for money or to enjoy the show?

Upon hearing Jian Qing’s ice-cold voice, Quan Jingwu’s handsome face changed, and he quickly pushed through the crowd to go outside.

“Baby!”

Quan Jingwu drew Jian Qing into his arms, the iciness in his gaze melting slightly.

“Xiaojing, why is your hair wet?” Jian Qing noticed he was wearing different clothes from what he had left in the morning.

Quan Jingwu lowered his head, his cool lips lingered by her ear, his deep voice carrying a hint of resentment, “My dear, someone bullied me.”

He didn’t rush to explain and ask for her trust because he knew that she would trust him.

Confused by his words, Jian Qing heard Ito Yukiko speak.

“Jian Qing, don’t get too upset, so as not to harm the baby.” She said with a touch of concern in her eyes.

Keiko sure knows how to stir up trouble.

Jian Qing was puzzled. Following Yukiko’s gaze, she saw Ito Keiko in tears, her hands clutching the disheveled kimono. She had a rough idea of what had happened.

She shifted her gaze and gave Quan Jingwu a playful look, amusement flickering in her eyes.

“Xiaojing, you really do know how to attract flies.”

“My bad, I admit to my mistakes,” Quan Jingwu replied in a low, hoarse voice.

Jian Qing hummed lightly and walked in. The crowd quickly made way for her.

“Mrs. Quan, I didn’t mean to. I originally planned to come to you for a walk, but I didn’t expect you to be out. CEO Quan was just momentarily confused. Please forgive us. I’m sorry.” Ito Keiko left much unsaid, intensifying the implicit suggestion of what had just happened via her omissions.

“Done with your story?” Leaning on her height advantage, Jian Qing looked down at her, a dangerous curve lifting the corners of her lips.

Ito Keiko tightens her grip on the collar of her kimono, sending a desperate look towards Quan Jingwu. Unfortunately, the man’s eyes are fixed on the person next to him, leaving her nothing but a cold profile.

With tears brimming in her eyes, she tried to hold back her disappointment. “Mrs. Quan, I’m not asking for anything else, nor intending to break your marital harmony. But since things have reached this point, all I ask for is to accompany CEO Quan more often, I do not seek any status.”

“Heh!”

Having listened to the end, Jian Qing scoffed and took a step forward to look at Ito Keiko, “Are you asking for death?”

She wished, but she doubted that Ito Keiko would have the chance to gain any status. But she could assist Keiko if she wished for death.

Being the one closest to Jian Qing, Ito Keiko felt her murderous aura and quickly retreated.

Bitterly, she said, “Mrs. Quan, however you look at this, I am still a woman, and I am the one at a disadvantage in this matter. There’s no need to be so aggressive.”

“So what if I’m being aggressive? Got a problem with that?” Jian Qing laughed lightly, a chill in her eyes.

“I’m just curious, how on earth did an aphrodisiac end up in our bedroom? You shamelessly intrude into our room, attempting to seduce my husband and now you’re slandering him. Do you know what the number one reason is that I can’t let you off?”

A cold shiver ran down Ito Keiko’s spine. Her face turned pale, with a bad feeling about what Jian Qing was about to say next.

And as expected, her prediction was dead-on.

“You underestimate my husband’s taste and discernment. With the way you are, you’re not even qualified to make a bed for my pet, Snow Wolf.” Jian Qing retorted.

The princess of R Country was humiliated in front of everyone. Many people’s expressions changed in response, especially Ito Takahashi, who looked as though he’d explode at any moment.

No father would stay calm when hearing someone insult their daughter.

Ito Yukiko didn’t think that Jian Qing had gone too far, after all, Keiko brought this upon herself, it was simply retribution.

Keiko was taken aback, then her rage exploded, “Jian Qing, don’t go too far. Even if you’re the wife of the CEO, you can’t treat me like this. I’m the victim here, it was your husband who wouldn’t let me go!”

Upon hearing her words, Quan Jingwu’s eyes turned icy. He was about to retaliate, but was stopped by Jian Qing.

“Xiaojing, let me handle this.”

Anyone who bullied her husband, she would pay back tenfold.

Quan Jingwu frowned, “But what if you agitate the baby?”

“Don’t worry, dealing with this kind of fly takes no effort.” Jian Qing laughed.

Quan Jingwu nodded, “Call me if you need help.”

“Sure.”

The husband and wife acted in concert, completely ignoring Ito Keiko.
